Re: It’s Official — Biden Will (NOT) Be the Demo Nominee in 2024

“I have come around to Alexander’s position on Biden 2024. If the Democrats nominate Joe Biden again, then there is no doubt that insanity rules their party.” —Massachusetts

“How would the DNC stage a debate when their candidate has the functioning IQ of a radish? Can this country survive another term with a Democrat in the White House right now? Likely not.” —Montana

“A majority of men regularly vote Republican. The swing vote in elections is the female vote. It will be very difficult for Trump to attract enough women voters to give him the election. In general, he does not appeal to women. Given the weak bench of Democrat prospects, any other Republican candidate would almost be a lock to win in November. Trump has an enormous uphill climb.” —Minnesota

Re: Biden’s EV Truck Mandate

“This isn’t just about emissions; it’s about Biden and his string-pullers removing the vehicles needed to supply goods to the American people to further destroy what’s left of our livelihoods. The new Great Depression is upon us in the form of a tyrannical, communist, Biden-run government. We are doomed as a nation if we just sit back and watch it all be destroyed.” —New Jersey

“Imagine, if you can, the amount of mining, use of hazardous substances, scrap, and expense that would be involved in replacing the engines in all the diesel heavy trucks in the U.S. Not to mention the vast amount of coal or gas that would need to be burned to keep all those trucks moving. (Unless, of course, our dim government were to suddenly realize that more nuclear generators need to be built and brought online as quickly as can safely be accomplished.) Somehow, I suspect that the damage to the environment would exceed the continued use of diesel engines.” —Florida

“What idiocy. How will diesel-powered earth-moving equipment operate if they are to become battery powered? How can an EV tractor trailer possibly haul a 300,000-pound bulldozer, which is also battery powered, to the open pit mine or construction site? Time to revive the Barry McQuire hit song, ‘Eve of Destruction,’ which is surely where our economic system is headed if the EPA prevails.” —California

Re: The Unholy Lie of ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

“The part of humanity with a brain still understands that there are only two sexes. And as for the ‘good Catholic’ Biden dutifully parroting the Rainbow Mafia’s line on Easter to try to make himself seem hip: If young people actually fall for the garbage this old fool spews, they are even dumber than I ever imagined.” —Pennsylvania

“Biden says to the delusional trans community, ‘You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.’ True enough, but the truth is also that transgenders don’t have respect and dignity for themselves and sure as heck don’t believe they are made in the image of God. They purposely flout any definitions of respect or dignity for themselves or for anyone else and destroy any connection they could have to the image of God. They are pushing for special privileges and money and power — to hell with other people’s God-given and constitutional rights to free speech and religious freedom.” —New Jersey

“As was said on a non-left-wing news program the other morning, he could have done it on the day before or the day after in order to avoid the clash with Easter Sunday. The very fact that he did it on Easter Sunday is an open display of Satan’s work. It is just plain evil and shows that most of those who support this admin are just as evil.” —Utah

Re: Demos Keep Using Murdered Children as Political Fodder for Their Gun Confiscation Agenda

“This is an excellent summary of how Democrats use families of murder victims as ‘human shields’ to protect their agenda from criticism. This disgraceful practice has become standard MO for the leftists. Red state elected Republican should familiarize themselves with this article.” —California

Re: Coleman Hughes Schools ‘The View’

“Why is it that Joy Behar can name specific anti-racists such as Kendi and DiAngelo, but on the other side has to go against a non-specific group of people, the so-called white supremacists, that is undefinable because it doesn’t exist? Not much of a debate position if you ask me!” —Texas

“The lifeblood of the fascist is the need for someone to own or hate. The Democrat Party seems to have embraced that mindset as a systemic part of its agenda for maintaining power. In 1964, Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen delivered the votes of 27 of the 33 Republican senators to join Democrats in favor of civil rights legislation, enough to end the Southern Democrat filibuster against it. The act was then voted into law.” —Ohio

Re: Good News: Gen Z Takes Up Trades

“Consider a possible correlation between Gen Z’s increased favor for skilled labor careers versus the decreasing propensity to enter military service. I can’t help considering the influence of school counselors. After decades of these trends, the effects on the U.S. could be perilous. The military offers virtually all of the same training at no cost with far greater, even lifetime, benefits. A military deployment inculcates a priceless world perspective unavailable elsewhere. DEI and ESG policies are driving these trends, ruining corporate leadership and jeopardizing our nation’s defense and economy. Gen Z: enlist, learn, then make your fortune!” —Missouri

Re: The BIG Problem Is NOT TikTok

“I agree that TikTok and Facebook are not good for anyone and I have never used either one. However, I do not understand why The Patriot Post uses them. Why perpetuate the problem?” Indiana

Editor: We do not utilize TikTok. However, our mission is to reach an ever-wider audience, and to do so, we are on other social media platforms — which suppress our content heavily.

Re: Profiles of Valor: Mary Edwards Walker

“Disgraceful that Fort AP Hill is being renamed for Mary Walker. Just more of the eradication of our nation’s history — good, bad, and ugly — by the Orwellian Left.” —New Jersey
